  48. on fire. Praise God.

  49. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus.

  50. So let's jump straight into God's Word.

  51. Open your Bibles with me to the book of Daniel chapter 3 and

    Daniel 3 chapter mention

  52. also the Scriptures up on the screen for you.

  53. And so then we're going to see in Daniel chapter 3, we're going

    Daniel 3 chapter mention

  54. to meet three brave young men, OK, who are the kind of a

  55. courage that we all need during tough times in life, OK.

  56. And so Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, they stood strong.

  57. They stood strong during a time where everybody else was falling

  58. down, but they had courage. Now I want you to see this in,

  59. in in Daniel chapter 3. Listen carefully what they said

    Daniel 3 chapter mention

  60. during their toughest time, their toughest moment.

  61. Now it says here, we're going to just pick it up in verse 16 for

  62. the sake of time. It says there Siderek, Meshach,

  63. and Abednego answered and said to the king, Oh, Nebuchadnezzar,

  64. we have no need to answer you in this matter.

  65. If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver

  66. us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us

  67. from your hand, O king. But if not, let it be known to

  68. you, O King, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we

  69. worship the gold image which you have said.

  70. Wow, wow, wow. Did you hear that?

  71. That is bold faith. That is faith on fire.

  72. Hallelujah. Let's say to your Father, we

  73. thank you. We come before you with open

  74. hearts. Anoint this word.

  75. Let it ignite A revival fire in God's people.

  76. Holy Spirit, have your way full of fresh on us.

  77. Bring renewal, transform. Let no one live the same way.

  78. Let people live, each and every one of us transform,

  79. transfigure, and full of faith in the mighty name of Jesus

  80. Christ, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, praise God.

  81. And so, yes, well, the entire nation of Babylon, they bowed

  82. down, these three young men, they stood up.

  83. They chose courage instead of comfort.

  84. They chose conviction instead of convenience.

  85. I mean, somebody. So they were saying, listen,

  86. King God is able to deliver us and even if he doesn't, we won't

  87. bow down to false gods. We won't bow down to these idols

  88. and they're called. So see, I want to tell you

  89. something about conviction. It is about being sure about

  90. what you believe. It's sure and secure in knowing

  91. and standing on what you believe for the faith that you stand,

  92. because what you believe, what you stand for, your conviction

  93. is sure then nothing can shake you.

  94. Nothing can shake us. When you know conviction, it

  95. says, listen, I am sticking with God even if it's hard, even if

  96. it's difficult, I'm still standing with God even if it's

  97. difficult. Or listen, I'm sticking with God

  98. even if it is challenging. That is conviction.

  99. OK. But on the other hand,

  100. convenience says that, you know, I'll stick with God as long as

  101. it's not difficult. That's convenience.

  102. Convenience I'll stick with God, but you know, I'll I'll speak

  103. with God only it's if it's comfortable and I'll stand with

  104. God, but only if it's easy, then I will stand with that is

  105. convenience. But listen, let me tell you,

  106. church, OK, easy won't change your life.

  107. Easy won't bolt you. Easy won't strengthen your life.

  108. Convenience, comfort won't bolt you.

  109. It takes conviction. It takes the real war, genuine,

  110. fiery, tested faith on fire that will carry you through the most

  111. difficult times of your life. It takes that kind of a faith,

  112. that kind of a conviction of a strong, a faith that has been

  113. tested, a faith that is on fire that will carry you through the

  114. difficult times in our lives. And so I'm here to tell somebody

  115. today, the same Jesus who stepped into the fiery furnace,

  116. the same Jesus, he's about to step into your fiery situation.

  117. He's about to step into your situation right now until

  118. whatever you're facing, he is already there with you in your

  119. situation. And so God is turning your

  120. pressure into promotion. He's turning your struggle into

  121. strength. He's turning your test into a

  122. powerful testimony. Hallelujah.

  123. And if you're really if you really believe that God is about

  124. to do something amazing in your life and give God some praise,

  125. open your life. So Hallelujah, celebrate God

  126. Almighty for what he is about to do in your life.

  127. Hallelujah. Praise Jesus, what will be to

  128. God, Amen. And so back in Babylon, the both

  129. is huge statue, 90 feet tall statue and told everyone listen

  130. when you hear the music bow down.

  131. And so the majority there because that was the easy way.

  132. The majority the easy, the convenient way, the safe,

  133. comfortable way. And so they all wait with the

  134. flow. But today church, we aren't

  135. choosing the easy way. We are choosing faith.

  136. We are choosing conviction. We are choosing the ways of God.

  137. Today let's decide that we don't bow to anything except Jesus

  138. Christ. Finally, as somebody, let him

  139. say your faith on fire. Come on, save my faith on fire.

  140. Say that. Save my faith on fire.

  141. Say it again like me, save my faith on fire.

  142. Shawn, Hallelujah. Now let me share with you

  143. something amazing. In South Africa there is a

  144. special tree. And so this tree is called the

  145. Silver tree and it grows on Table Mountain.

  146. Then catch on. And so the reason they call it

  147. the silver tree is because when the sunlight hits the leaves,

  148. it's reflects and it shines like silver.

  149. OK, now I just want to put up a picture here for you that you

  150. can see how it looks like. But here's the amazing part

  151. about this silver tree. The seed of the silver tree is

  152. get hidden in a cone tightly sealed for years.

  153. Now let me show a picture of the cone with the seed inside.

  154. And so these seeds just sit there quietly, doing nothing at

  155. all, until one thing happens. Fire.

  156. When the wildfire comes, the heat of the fire breaks open the

  157. cone and it releases the seed. It falls into the ground for

  158. growing new trees. Isn't that amazing that the fire

  159. that seems disastrous is actually bringing new life?

  160. If you get that that wildfire has seen disasters actually

  161. bringing you life. And so in the same way with us,

  162. just like the silver tree, there is gifts, talents, there is

  163. greatness in US, OK. And so they come out only when

  164. life turns up, the heat when life turns up.

  165. Sometimes God allows difficult situations in our lives to come

  166. so that we can come to a place where the greatness in US is

  167. being released, is being unlocked.

  168. And so God allows these things to take place.

  169. Now let me ask you this. What seeds, talents or potential

  170. or greatness inside of you, the seeds in you is God unlocking

  171. right now Because your greatest breakthrough often come after it

  172. comes after a great challenge. And you see, you might feel

  173. uncomfortable in the fire, but listen, let me tell you, God has

  174. complete control over your situation.

  175. God is in complete control. You know these forest Rangers,

  176. they call it a controlled burn, a fire that is planned.

  177. It's carefully planned to clean out the old Grove and bring make

  178. room for new life and that is what God is doing in your life.

  179. He's not destroying you he's growing you Can you say I made

  180. somebody OK, so just like Chadwick Michigan badly go

  181. stepped out in a fiery fight. I'm going to give you 5 lessons

  182. we learn that we can apply now point number one say before you

  183. see it and that is the Bible says in second Corinthians

  184. chapter 413. It is written, I believe,

  185. therefore I have spoken. Since we have that same spirit

  186. of faith, we also believe and therefore speak.

  187. So what you speak out loud activates what you believe.

  188. Insight. Okay, so the Scripture tells us

  189. to speak it before you see, nothing moves until somebody

  190. speaks it out. So the moment that you open up

  191. your mouth and you declare God's promises, heaven begins to move.

  192. Heaven begins to shift things around.

  193. But staying quietly sometimes slows things down.

  194. But speaking boldly in faith, that sets things in motion, I

  195. meant. And so these three young men,

  196. they spoke boldly, they first spoke, they didn't wait until

  197. God moved. They first declared deliverance.

  198. They spoke it out. They said, listen, King, our God

  199. is able to deliver us. So they first spoke it and then

  200. God stepped in and moved and made it happen.

  201. And so that is how the promises of God becomes real in your

  202. life. OK, You have got to speak it

  203. before you see it. I meant some of you are

  204. listening to me right now. You are waiting on a phone call.

  205. You are waiting on job offers. You are waiting on business

  206. contracts to be signed. Some of you sitting here waiting

  207. for properties. You're waiting for visas to come

  208. through. Some of you are waiting for

  209. investors. Some of you are waiting for

  210. emails to come through. You're waiting for that business

  211. bill. You're waiting for a medical

  212. gagner, a report to come through.

  213. Or maybe you're waiting for Prodigal family members to come

  214. home. But let me just tell you

  215. something very, very powerful. God, when the moment you start,

  216. we are declaring God's promises. When you start declaring God's

  217. promises, God begins to work. God starts working behind the

  218. scenes. Angels are sent out, obstacles

  219. are being removed, Doors are opening wide as you are

  220. declaring God's promises. Can you, shall I name somebody

  221. now? Point #2 Emmanuel.

  222. God is with us, it says here in desire. 43 two.

  223. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and

  224. through the rivers they shall not overflow you.

  225. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burnt.

  226. OK, now I will be with you. Underline that in your work,

  227. because God never promised us a life without problems.

  228. God never promised us a life with no problems.

  229. He never said, OK, that we're not going to have no problems in

  230. this world. He never said that we are never

  231. going to walk through fire. But what he did say is, I will

  232. be with you. That's the promise.

  233. That's the anchor where he said, listen, I will be with you.

  234. OK? Now faith doesn't always keep us

  235. out of the fiery fullness. It does always keep us out of

  236. the difficult challenges, but 5 carries us through the fiery

  237. furnace. Come on, somebody, you might

  238. feel the heat, you might feel the pressure, but you will not

  239. be destroyed. The flames will not consume you

  240. because Jesus is walking you through the fire.

  241. Hallelujah, somebody. Now I love what he says there in

  242. Daniel chapter 3 talking about King nigga, but Nizza.

    Daniel 3 chapter mention

  243. And so he looks into that fiery furnace and he's like, well,

  244. didn't we just in three? OK, wait a minute, wait a

  245. minute. I don't just see three.

  246. I'm sure we, we there was only three in there.

  247. OK, But yes. And even he says, listen, they

  248. said I see four. Oh my God, I feel like shocking

  249. on my spirit tonight. Hallelujah.

  250. I see four. And you know, the 4th, the 4th

  251. man, he looks like a son of God. Oh Jesus, I feel the presence of

  252. God in this place today. Oh, you see, listen, ladies and

  253. gentlemen, God could have been to me.

  254. He could have prevented the fire furnace.

  255. He could have stopped it, but instead he decided to step in.

  256. My God, I feel anointed. That's the God that we serve.

  257. He could have stopped that fire furnaces Almighty God, but he

  258. decided to step in. Oh my God, that is the kind of

  259. saviour. Listen, he's not so far off God

  260. on some planet, millions of bullies.

  261. He's not a piston God at hands of God.

  262. He is the kind of a saviour that gets right in.

  263. He steps right into the chaos. He steps right into the mess,

  264. into the difficulty. He steps right into your

  265. midnight hour distance, right into your challenging situation

  266. and he says, listen, my son and my daughter, I am here with you.

  267. I am with you in this. Oh my God, I feel anointed.

  268. Somebody shot Hallelujah. You know, it's like with

  269. somebody driving a lifeguard doesn't just stand there

  270. watching. Person driving, you know, like

  271. this with this finger is now standing on the side watching

  272. from a distance. If somebody's driving a

  273. lifeguard, they take action. The lifeguard diving, that's

  274. what Jesus does. Jesus dies in.

  275. Jesus steps into your chaos, into his future.

  276. He steps into. He dies into your mess.

  277. He dives into your loss, your confusion, your struggle.

  278. And when you cannot swim anymore, he holds you up.

  279. That's our Savior. Somebody shot.

  280. Hallelujah. He is with me.

  281. Yeah. Say that he is with me.

  282. Yeah, He's. He's in it with me.

  283. Hallelujah. My point #3 is freedom in the

  284. fire? Daniel 325, Look, don't put that

  285. one. Oh, really?

  286. Daniel 325, look, he answered. I see four men loose.

  287. OK, now I want you to get this Daniel 325.

  288. Look the answer. I see four men loose that word

  289. loose walking in the midst of the fire and they are not hurt.

  290. That means they are unharmed. And he says loose.

  291. So they're unbound. And the form of the 4th is like

  292. the Son of God. OK, the fire didn't kill them.

  293. The fire didn't even cinch the hair, but the fire burned one

  294. thing, OK? The fire did not burn.

  295. They closed. It did not burn their hair.

  296. The fire burned What? The ropes.

  297. Oh, somebody's getting this. OK, that pounding.

  298. OK, what # Them when they put them in the fiery furnace, the

  299. ropes. OK, what?

  300. That's what burned. The only thing the fire were the

  301. ropes that had them pound that got burned in the fire.

  302. So I need you to catch that because the fire that you're

  303. walking free to the it's not very to burn you up, but it's

  304. there to lose you. The difficult situation that

  305. you're walking through right now is not very to burn you or to

  306. destroy you. It is there to lose you, is

  307. there to free you. There is freedom in the player.

  308. There is freedom in the chance. There is freedom in that

  309. difficult. There is freedom in that.

  310. There is freedom in the resistance.

  311. My God, take this word and resurrect your power.

  312. Oh, I feel anointing this freedom in the fire of the day.

  313. I declare by fire and anointing by faith that there is freedom

  314. in your fire. There is freedom in your family.

  315. There is freedom in your difficulty.

  316. Hallelujah, Somebody shot freedom, shot, freedom, shot

  317. freedom, freedom. Listen, chance of falling in

  318. this season. Change of insecurity, chains of

  319. addiction, chains of fear, chains of rediction.

  320. It is falling. And I came to prophecy over

  321. somebody today. The thing that tied you up, the

  322. thing that helped your body is about to lose this blood.

  323. The thing that helped you back is about to lose this blood.

  324. That sickness. Oh, that depression.

  325. Oh, that financial strength, Oh, it is breaking in the name of

  326. Jesus. Oh, that limitation is breaking

  327. in the name of Jesus. Oh, the generational curse is

  328. breaking in the way the name of Jesus.

  329. That poverty, that lack, that seekers, that exciting, that

  330. fear is breaking in the name of Jesus Christ.

  331. Somebody shout Alleluia, even answer praise in this place if

  332. you are receiving this somebody, the king said, I see four in the

  333. fire. Glory to God.

  334. I feel like preaching. Oh my God, there's a fire.

  335. Shut up on my bones. 4/4 Yes, the 4th man.

  336. Oh my God, there's another one in the fire.

  337. I want you to get this. The 4th man is with you.

  338. There's another in the fire. Somebody.

  339. I want you to catch that in your spirit.

  340. There's another in the fire. The 4th man is with you.

  341. He's with you in your situation. He's with you when the doctors

  342. shakes their head. He's with you when you receive a

  343. medical report. He's with you when the bills

  344. don't add up. He is with you.

  345. He's with you. He is in the prison cell, in the

  346. hospital room, in the courtroom, in your lonely room.

  347. Oh, he's with you now. You may not see him, but he's

  348. there. You may not feel him, but he's

  349. right there beside you. Come on, church, give God some

  350. praise. I thank him that he's with you.

  351. Make some wise. He's with you, He's with you.

  352. Hallelujah. There is another in the fire.

  353. I feel like there is another in the fire.

  354. Tell your neighbor there's another in the fire.

  355. There's another in the fire. Yes, there's another in the

  356. fire. And just like these boys, when

  357. you come out, you are coming out better.

  358. You're not coming out smelling like smoke.

  359. You're not coming out Bailey, just making it.

  360. You're not coming outside. Listen, you are coming out

  361. loose. You are coming out anointed.

  362. You are coming out restored. You are coming out hold.

  363. You are coming out healed. You are coming out promoted and

  364. elevated. You are coming out stronger.

  365. Come on somebody, you are coming out later.

  366. Put your hands together. Somebody shout.

  367. I am coming out better. Tap your hands and give God

  368. praise. Hallelujah.

  369. My God, are you getting this? Somebody .4 God is faithful.

  370. Just lean in. Get this.

  371. This word is going deep. This is steering something deep.

  372. Listen carefully. All of us go through times of

  373. testing, but God is faithful. He knows exactly what you are

  374. going through, everything. Now listen chess, I want you to

  375. get this because His grace will keep you from being tested

  376. beyond your ability to come. And then Hallelujah, His place

  377. is sufficient. He will never let the heat get

  378. hotter than what you can handle. Oh Hallelujah, this is a

  379. comforting word. It says here First Corinthians

    1 Corinthians 10:13

  380. chapter 10, verse 13. We all experience times of

  381. testing, which is normal for every human being, no one

  382. excluded. But God will be faithful to you,

  383. underline that faithful to you. He will screen filter the

  384. severity, the nature, the timing of every test or trial you face

  385. so that you can bear it. And each test is an opportunity

  386. to trust him more for along with every trial, God has provided

  387. for you a way of the sky that will bring you out of it

  388. victoriously. OK, so it's very clear that the

  389. scripture says, listen, every test that each and everyone of

  390. goes through every taste is screens right before it even

  391. hits US, it's already screamed like a heavenly filter that says

  392. that we each and every one of us goes through.

  393. Listen, it is already it's been measured.

  394. He measures it come on somebody, he measures it.

  395. He measures the weight of it first of all, and the timing of

  396. the test and he measures the intensity of the test and he

  397. trips it out. And so then he custom fathoms a

  398. furry furnace that is going to form you, that is going to

  399. strengthen you, that is going to topology for you because each

  400. and every one of us, we are unique.

  401. And so it is custom foot. So you are not in some wild

  402. uncontrollable desire is asked that you are in a controlled

  403. poon, OK? You are under the hand of God,

  404. who is in control, the creator of the entire universe, the

  405. Master Gardener. And listen, he is using the heat

  406. and he's got a Pomona, Indonesia said, OK, the right temperature

  407. for your situation, for you. And he uses the heat to burn off

  408. the things that we don't need. He burns the things that we

  409. don't need in our lives. He burns off the old habits.

  410. He burns off the wrong mindsets, the training, relationships.

  411. He uses the heat to burn it off our lives.

  412. So He makes room for what is about to grow in your life.

  413. And so he measures the temperature so that it's just

  414. the right heat for you to burn off the things that you don't

  415. need in your life. I made somebody.

  416. Now let me show you my testimony because when God called me into

  417. full time ministry to plant this church, OK, it did not feel like

  418. destiny, felt like disaster, OK? Because listen, we lived in

  419. Bristol and then just wanted I had a very good stable job at

  420. the height of my career, earning a big salary.

  421. And so yes, I the secure, I felt secure.

  422. But then all of a sudden, BAM, everything is gone.

  423. No income, no backup plan, no question, no safety net.

  424. And it felt like I've just been tossed into this fire, this

  425. firing through this on streets. I felt over wild.

  426. I felt completely unqualified. But now looking back, I realized

  427. that that wasn't just some ransom chaos.

  428. That was a controlled bird, not allowed me to go through that

  429. difficult season in my life to bring out and open up some

  430. things inside of me that I didn't even know were there.

  431. I didn't even know that I could preach.

  432. I didn't even know courage or both this.

  433. I didn't know any of that. And so I described things in the

  434. fire that I would never have found in comfort, easy,

  435. convenient, take it easy situation.

  436. I found things in the fire. It takes pressure to release

  437. potential. It takes fire to release your

  438. faith. And so we all walk through some

  439. heat during these past years. The government lockdowns,

  440. pandemic, business losses, loneliness, saying goodbye to

  441. people we love. OK, so they were real fires, but

  442. God's never left us. And I believe that he's saying

  443. to someone here right now, don't stop in the middle, don't give

  444. up. Now you are on the verge, you

  445. are on the edge of a shift. You're a power to see God's

  446. favour in your fire. Hallelujah.

  447. Now I remember when I was young in South, I was 12 years old, I

  448. was just cycling my bicycle there in the neighborhood.

  449. And back then in South Africa, the yards were open, no fences

  450. or security guides, all open. And I was just riding in the

  451. neighborhood, enjoying my bicycle, minding my own

  452. business. And so all of a sudden, out of

  453. no way, this big mass of dogs starts chasing after me.

  454. I mean this dog looked like it had penis in it's eyes, barking

  455. and growling. My heart really dropped out of

  456. my chest. And so even though I was

  457. terrified and small, something kicked in on that bicycle and I

  458. just started bending and I like my life depended on it and so I

  459. moved so far so that but I'm sure I could outrun a motorcycle

  460. now. That's what pressure does.

  461. It pulls something out of places that you didn't even know

  462. existence. Yeah.

  463. There's something about heat. There's something about

  464. pressure, Tiger, that it awakens hidden strength.

  465. I didn't even know I can pedal that fast on that bicycle until

  466. that dog started barking and going.

  467. All of a sudden, something jumped in me and I was just

  468. like, wow, going for now. You might not have a crazy dog

  469. chasing you down the street, but you might have a problem or a

  470. struggle breathing down your neck.

  471. You might. Maybe there's bulls that won't

  472. stop piling up. Maybe there is a medical

  473. diagnosis that you didn't expect.

  474. Maybe it's anxiety or depression or a family situation that is

  475. just get you feeling like you're just barely holding on.

  476. But how you respond in the pressure matters.

  477. Yes, that's right. OK.

  478. The way that you walk through the heat determines whether you

  479. come out better or better. Yeah.

  480. Pressure is meant to unlock potential and let real genuine

  481. faith arise. And so first, Peter 412 says,

  482. dear friends, don't be surprised at the fiery trials you are

  483. going through. Peter didn't just say trials, he

  484. said fiery trials. And that tells me that there is

  485. some trials, some struggles, that carries heat, OK, Some

  486. situations that are not just tough, but they are hot,

  487. stretching, uncomfortable. And that is the moment to let

  488. real faith arise. Genuine faith, genuine tested

  489. faith. That is the faith of faith.

  490. Now look back just a few chapters, first Peter one, verse

  491. 7. These trials will show that your

  492. faith is genuine. It's being tested as fire tests

  493. and purifies gold. And so when we take gold,

  494. listen, gold is refined in fire, right?

  495. So that is how our fate is refined.

  496. It's through the fire. So you're getting stronger

  497. through the fire. And think about it.

  498. Listen, a diamond only shines of the pressure, OK?

  499. And so in the same way you are grow stronger when you walk

  500. through the fire and you don't come up the same way.

  501. You come out where your you have been forged.

  502. Your faith has been forged with fire.

  503. You come out with tested fiery fire.

  504. You come out with faith on fire. The title of today's message.

  505. Oh my God, I thank you that you grab the thought of this

  506. revelation and God and God, it's faith on fire.

  507. That's how we come out of faith on fire.

  508. Hallelujah. Now next point #5 the hotter the

  509. fire, the higher the Father. Listen.

  510. The Bible says that the king turned up the furnace 7 times

  511. hotter. 7 is the number of perfection, the perfection of

  512. our fight. Listen, 7 times hotter.

  513. Now the king Nigabad Nizar, he thought listen, that is for

  514. their destruction, but really he was just preparing the stage for

  515. them to go higher for their promotion.

  516. Because the hotter you may come out, the hotter the fire, the

  517. higher the fiber, the hotter the fire, the higher the promotion,

  518. the hotter my fire, the bigger my blessing.

  519. Oh my God, someone say this. The hearts of my fire, the

  520. bigger my blessing. Put your eyes together.

  521. Praise the Lord, Hallelujah. And so, yeah, after the fire,

  522. the king that had just leave them alone, he promoted them.

  523. God used the fire for promotion. Promote them.

  524. Listen, don't miss this. The trial that you are going

  525. through, the fire, the storm that you're walking through, it

  526. is going to be the very thing that God uses to lift you up.

  527. The difficulty, the challenge is that going to be the very thing

  528. that God uses Jesus to write up your faith, to set your faith on

  529. fire. Hallelujah, Daniel or David said

  530. in Psalm 4. There's one, though, has

  531. enlarged me when I was in distress, OK, so he said that

  532. you made me stronger, made me stronger in my trouble.

  533. OK. He did not say you make me

  534. stronger at the beach, OK? He did not say you make me

  535. stronger when life is good and everything is easy.

  536. He said He made me stronger in trouble, in the distress, in the

  537. difficulty, OK, you in my trouble.

  538. Because that's when David really felt when Saul was chasing him.

  539. David went through the stress when Saul was chasing, when he

  540. found things that is inside of him before he was promoted.

  541. And so Psalm 66, verse 12, it says he went through fire.

    Psalms 66:12

  542. We went through fire and flood, but you're brought us to a place

  543. of great abundance. So the fire came before the

  544. favour. Okay.

  545. So the pain came before the promotion.

  546. The trial came before the powerful testimony.

  547. OK, I said now is not the time to give up.

  548. Now is not the time to stop because the fire that you write

  549. down, don't give up. Because on the other side,

  550. abundance is waiting for you. And the Bible talks about great

  551. abundance is waiting for you on the other side when you come out

  552. of the fire. Now let me share with you a true

  553. story from the trailer we watch. His name was Dmitri.

  554. And so he was an ordinary factory worker in Russia during

  555. the time when following Jesus was dangerous and precursor.

  556. You allowed precursor everything.

  557. And so Dmitri started a small house church in his village.

  558. The authorities found out about it.

  559. And I warned him and said, shut it down, stop preaching, stop

  560. praising God. But Dmitri had fire shut up in

  561. his buttons. Like, listen, I cannot stop

  562. praising my God. And so they punished him

  563. harshly. He lost his job, took his kids

  564. out of school. And so they finally threw him in

  565. the prison thousands of miles away from home, locked up in a

  566. prison with 1500 hardened criminals.

  567. He was surrounded, a man of faith, surrounded by violence,

  568. isolated, forgotten, but not by him.

  569. But every morning Dimitri would get up for 17 years in his cell.

  570. He would face E sunrise, lift his hands up and he would sing

  571. the same worship son. He called it his heart song,

  572. Dimitri's heart song. And so the other prisoners, they

  573. hated it. They cursed him.

  574. They threw fresh they marching. But Dimitri, he's just saying

  575. anyway. And not just that he would

  576. written scriptures, find script papers and he would write the

  577. scripture. I put it in the pillar in his

  578. cell, the crack pillar. And these notes said Jesus is

  579. alive. Jesus is alive.

  580. And so these gods did everything.

  581. They came to break Dimitri. They mocked him and they lied to

  582. him. And one day they told him that

  583. his wife is dead and his children has been taken away.

  584. And that broke him. And he decided, and he agreed to

  585. write the confession to deny his faith in Christ.

  586. He agreed to sign the confession to deny Christ.

  587. But let me tell you something about the faithfulness of God.

  588. That same night, in his cold, darkened prison, Dmitri heard

  589. his family praying for him. Not in, not in person.

  590. He heard his family praying. Not through a phone call.

  591. Supernaturally, by the power of the Holy Spirit, God allowed him

  592. to hear the voice of his wife. Oh my Lord, Jesus, fire Jesus.

  593. He could hear the voice of his wife praying for him.

  594. He could hear the voice of his children praying for him

  595. supernaturally and that sound of his family praying for him that

  596. brought life back. And he just, he just life came

  597. back and he tore up the confession and he just shouted,

  598. I'm a child of God. I am a servant of the living God

  599. and his name is Jesus. Hallelujah glory I shot.

  600. And so later they came to execute him.

  601. And so as the gods marching down, they down the hallway and

  602. they, the gods expected silence. But as they reached the end,

  603. just before they reached the end, all of a sudden something

  604. happened. 1 by 1. Every prisoner got up 1500 mains

  605. to their to their feet. They turned E they lifted their

  606. hands and they sang the same heart song, Dimitri's heart

  607. song. Together they sang the same song

  608. they once mocked. It echoed like Thunder in that

  609. prison. The gods froze and they

  610. whispered, Who is this man? And Dimitri, the kid, I'm a

  611. child of God. I am a servant of the living

  612. God. His name is Jesus, and those

  613. gods didn't kill him. They marched him right back to

  614. his shell. And not long after that, Dimitri

  615. was released for prison. Hallelujah.

  616. He didn't leave that prison broken.

  617. He didn't leave that prison. But he walked out bold,

  618. anointed. And when he got home, revival,

  619. spread night, wildfire. I'm asking you, what about you?

  620. If one person with no microphone, no building, no

  621. resources, no platform, if he could shake a nation, what could

  622. happen if you stood up in your fire?

  623. What would happen in your workplace?

  624. What would happen in your school, in your college campus?

  625. What would happen in your family if you decided I We will worship

  626. no matter what? Hallelujah.

  627. If you've got a song, you've got a weapon.

  628. If you've got faith, you've got power.

  629. Come on, church. Let's rise like Dimitri.

  630. Let's shake our regions. Shake our neighborhoods, shake

  631. our nation, shake our schools, our businesses.

  632. Let's rise up. Hallelujah.

  633. Come on and declare with the the fire that is set up in our pose

  634. and the praises on our lips, We are, we are children of God.

  635. I am a child of God. I'm a servant of the living God.

  636. His name is Jesus. I will worship.

  637. I will care about persecution in Africa.

  638. I don't care about persecution in the Middle East or in the you

  639. gotta care. I know whatever it takes, Jesus

  640. is worth it. Jesus is worth it.

  641. Jesus is worth it. Holy is worth it.

  642. Hallelujah. That's as we come to the end of

  643. this message. When a person of faith full of

  644. faith. When a person of faith on fire

  645. walks into the room, heaven takes notice.

  646. Oh my God, angels sign on attention.

  647. When a person of faith walks into the room, Oh my God, Heaven

  648. opens, Hell starts tremble because there's a faith on fire.

  649. There's a person, there's a woman, there's a man, there's a

  650. son, there's a daughter, a man and a woman of faith that he

  651. just walks into the room. Hallelujah.

  652. Hell stores tremble. That's right.

  653. You're not just anybody. You're a child of God.

  654. Hallelujah. The same Jesus who speak into

  655. that fiery feathers, the same Jesus who speak into that

  656. Russian prisoner of the bed. He's standing with you.

  657. Jesus is standing with you. You're not alone.

  658. And this is the hour we are living in a fiery tested hour of

  659. persecution that city developed. We are standing under a testing

  660. of a fiery fight. And so you were made to carry

  661. fear. You were made to bow to fear.

  662. You were made to carry fire. You are a fire carrier.

  663. A five person, 5:00 on. Fire.

  664. And so every difficulty, every challenge you face, whatever

  665. situation it is, that is your chance to show the world that

  666. Jesus is alive and that is still show up in fire.

  667. Amen. Let's all stand, rise to your

  668. feet, right, God, because I believe this is a divine moment

  669. when faith comes alive. Every furnace you face, every

  670. battle you fought, God is spreading it around into

  671. breadfruit, into blessing Jesus, the 4th man in the fire is right

  672. here ready to change everything. And so if you've walked into the

  673. place and you feel pound, you feel cold, you're feeling stuck

  674. today by the authority in the name of Jesus, you are living

  675. hoosed, you are living free. If your faith came in cold, it's

  676. about to be set up, lives on fire, a faith that is on fire.

  677. I'm talking about a faith that transformed the way you talk,

  678. the way you walk your mind, your mission, your mood.

  679. This is your moment, so that's your heart.

  680. If you say Pastor War, I need fresh fire.

  681. I need fresh touch. They lift those hands right now.

  682. Let me pray over you. Father, we thank you for being a

  683. consuming fire. You're the God who steps into

  684. our struggle, Lord, which stands in our furnace.

  685. Lord, let your word burn in our hearts right now.

  686. We will not bow to fear. Father, burn away the Rose.

  687. Burn away anxiety, guilt, shame, addiction, insecurity,

  688. confusion. Partners, holy partners, holy,

  689. holy spoilers, holy. In every worries of you remain

  690. Jesus. Walk into every home, walk into

  691. every marriage, every job situation, every doctor's

  692. reports, every broken heart, every anxious mind.

  693. Beautiful man in every fire. Make this church a blaze of

  694. revival. Fire we change, full of

  695. miracles. Break heart, break loose when

  696. our souls come home. Set us on fire so bright.

  697. Let our neighborhood leave Bracknell.

  698. Let the UK see your fire in US. Let the people feel the heat of

  699. Jesus around. Come us on the side.

  700. Give them a fire in place. Give them a sign of fire, a fire

  701. in place. Let's declare this out loud.

  702. I'm not alone. The 4th man is with me.

  703. Jesus is in the fire with me and He's bringing me out better and

  704. stronger. I'm promoted.

  705. I will not bow to fear. I will not bow to doubt.

  706. I stand in faith and my faith, He's on fire.

  707. Holy Ghost and fire, but size also the Holy Ghost and fire.

  708. So lean in one moment. This is holy ground.

  709. If you've never invited Jesus into your life, if you need a

  710. fresh start, a clean slate, do other with God.

  711. This is your moment right now. Don't wait another moment.

  712. I want to give you an opportunity.

  713. If you want to give your life to Jesus or recommit your life,

  714. that's you. I invite you to lift your hand

  715. up right now. Lift your hand up.

  716. I see those hands. Thank you everybody.
